Google Sheets Add-on Help
Draft guide for translating spreadsheet content while keeping classroom data organized.
Quick Start
- Open your Google Sheet and select the range to translate.
- Open PotentELL from Extensions.
- Choose source and target languages.
- Apply translation to new columns to preserve originals.
Common Issues
- Cells skipped: confirm selected cells contain plain text and not formulas only.
- Permission prompts: reconnect your account and re-authorize the add-on.
- Unexpected output: verify the correct source language is selected.
Best Practices
- Use one tab for source data and one tab for translated output.
- Freeze header rows so labels remain visible while reviewing translations.
- Spot-check key terms to keep instructional language consistent.
